    Knocking sound....from clutch assembly?

    Exact opposite of what T87T is describing...... My "guess" at this point is the snout on the Mainshaft in the gearbox has/is failed/failing. A vid of the noise would help.

    Need imediate help, Bad miss after hot starts: Paging JJ

    I have the MoTeC in mine set to run both pumps at 100% to clear the lines for hot starts it made a HUGE difference, maybe a cap/diode/button to act as a primer on hot starts?

    Poor motor oil selection and excessive temperatures in rebuilt 7m

    Really don't know sorry, I just hand my guy a list and take my bag of bits home to play, don't really hear/see prices unless they're ridiculous. Mine wraps around the engine bay so LOTS this time, for the 7M I think I bought 4 metres.

    cam gear wobble?

    Should run perfectly true up/down/side to side. Can't think of anything at all that could go wrong with the Cam to make it wobble.

    Ironic part of that Valve is it's made here in Australia by a company I worked at many years ago, yes it was cheaper to order it from Summit USA than to buy it here. ;) Ditto on the Cooler and T Stat..

    Poor motor oil selection and excessive temperatures in rebuilt 7m

    Mine is just a normal on/off valve (the front section of that one you linked) in use I run the engine with the valve open, if the engine makes 60psi you have 50psi of oil in the accummulator (10psi base charge on the air spring) if the motor slows the pressure will feed back into the engine...

    1J won't start (sometimes, well a lot of the time!)

    The electromagnet in starters gets tired/fullOcrap/sticky over the years, as he's done a relay/button mod we can assume it's getting a full 12v at enough current to fully throw if all was well, my suggestion was just a stopgap in case he gets caught somewhere he can't roll start it. ;)

    Poor motor oil selection and excessive temperatures in rebuilt 7m

    Solenoids only really seal in one direction, if the valve is off/closed and the engine is running the accumulator will charge with oil pressure but won't discharge back into the engine. I used to run mine with no valve at all just T'd into the main line back into the engine (The non...

    Poor motor oil selection and excessive temperatures in rebuilt 7m

    Yep gives a small safety net for braking/cornering as the stock pan is a joke at best and if 500Ml low a disaster at worst.... I change to Synthetic at 1000Km's and before any hard boosting.

    !!!!!???what in the hell kind of blow off valve is that???!!!!

    Be surprised if it has no BoV at all as there are vids of it on the street and it's NOT surging everytime he backs off.

    freeze plugs

    Damn I don't have a good pic showing the factory stake job, it's intentionally peening/mangling the material of the block that surrounds the convex plug, you can see it easily if you have a block there.

    Poor motor oil selection and excessive temperatures in rebuilt 7m

    Should work okish as long as you keep it 1 litre overfull. -8 lines and fittings are a bit of a trap if there are any bends in them.
